Moonflower Cottages
This place is truly a hidden gem. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet still within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars, and local shops. I even walked to the Johannesburg Botanical Garden without any hassle. Grocery stores and pharmacies are just a short stroll away, making daily essentials super convenient. Jamie, who runs the property, is incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful—always ready to assist with tips or recommendations. I stayed here twice, each time in a different cottage, and both were clean, well-maintained, and full of charm. On my second visit, I was upgraded to Cottage 4—the one I affectionately called my 'Princess Tower'—and it was absolutely stunning. Spacious, cozy, and beautifully decorated, it felt like a little retreat all its own. The driver Chris, recommended by Jamie, was also fantastic—he’s reliable, professional, and went out of his way to help me on multiple occasions. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and memorable. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a home-away-from-home with heart.

I stayed at Rosebank Lodge & Backpacker for six months, and while the first few months were a bit disorganized, things really improved in the final stretch thanks to the new manager—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely attentive.

Accoustix Backpackers Hostel
The stay was generally positive, with the highlight being the excellent swimming pool and beautifully maintained garden—clearly a result of dedicated care from the groundskeeper. It made the property feel peaceful and welcoming. That said, the kitchen could use some improvement—there were no drinking glasses at all, and cooking utensils were limited. Bringing your own glassware is a must. Despite this small drawback, the overall experience was solid, especially for the price. The location is convenient for exploring Johannesburg, and public transport access is straightforward. A great option if you're looking for a relaxed, clean hostel vibe with good outdoor spaces.

The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the city center and easy to reach via public transport. The hostel itself is quiet and peaceful, which made it perfect for relaxing after a long day at work. It's also very affordable, offering solid value for money without compromising on comfort. Khethiwe, the staff member I interacted with, was incredibly helpful and always went the extra mile to accommodate my needs. Knowing I could rely on them made my stay stress-free, especially when juggling a busy schedule. While the place isn’t flashy, it’s clean, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable, no-fuss base in Johannesburg with friendly service and good value, this is definitely worth considering.
The Pecan Tree Guesthouse
Staying at The Pecan Tree Guesthouse was a delightful experience. The setting is absolutely peaceful and beautifully nestled in the hills—perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat. While it's located uphill, having a car makes access seamless. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, well-prepared, and full of variety. The only minor downside was the pool's cleanliness, but since we were visiting in winter and didn’t use it, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, the ambiance, comfort, and attention to detail make this a standout choice. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway in Johannesburg.
